Due to the recent security breach on Tuts+ Premium, many of you may be wondering about the safety of your personal information on the Envato Marketplaces.

We would like to assure you that Marketplace passwords are all encrypted to protect your personal data. The Marketplaces do not store passwords as plain text.

A reminder though: if your Marketplace password is the same as your Tuts+ Premium password (or if you can’t remember your Tuts+ Premium password), you should change your Marketplace password immediately. The same goes for any other sites where you use that password.

If you have any questions, feedback or concerns – please ensure you have read the Envato Notes article regarding the breach, and contact Support who will be more than happy to assist. Thank you.

Hey Jordan, how much of an impact do you think this will have on Marketplace authors in terms of sales?
Seems like a lot of the Tuts+ members are frustrated and angry, are there are a lot of them who were buyers or potential buyers?

Hey Johnny. Certainly there is an understandable level of frustration from our affected users. We use encrypted passwords on the Marketplaces and no data has been compromised here. We’re going to keep everyone informed about the situation, will be transparent and are urgently working to fix the issue and do our best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Hi doru. This is in relation to the tutsplus website which is completely different to the marketplace login system.

Sorry, I will not allow this. Don’t deflect my question, I need an answer to this issue.

And is not “completely different” as you say. That website is owned by envato and probably was maintained by the same developer team as those who build&support this marketplace. Correct me if I’m wrong on this.
